Actionable information about the role of Nutrition, Supplements, Mental and Emotional states in the prevention, control, or healing of cancer or chronic conditions.

 Information provided includes scientific findings in integrative and conventional medicine as well as knowledge gained from personal experience, and consultations with some of the leading holistic health practitioners in the field of cancer.

"Conventional medicine" refers to main stream treatment options: chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation.

“Integrative medicine” is more holistic. It combines treatments from conventional and complementary/holistic medicine, for which there is high-quality evidence of safety, synergy and effectiveness.

My journey began in 2010 and has culminated in a wealth of knowledge that I am compelled to share to help others navigate through the confusing and unsettling process of cancer treatment, expectations and recovery.
It is overwhelming to sort through the endless sources of information.  Here I bring together the most important aspects of your decision making process, and the options you have to choose from based on your situation and goals

When i told my first Oncologist that I would be taking an Integrative approach to my recovery, it was met with dismissive reaction. Oncologists are trained to treat symptoms with medicine or surgery, not to investigate the underlying causes of disease and not to consider holistic options. Without attention to the latter much helpful insight is missed.

I knew I wanted to actively participate in my progression to good health, and under no circumstances would that have been possible without preparing my physical, emotional and psychological 'bodies'  to withstand the toxic treatments and the emotional roller coaster.  I wanted to do everything possible to stay fit, positive and strong.

Conventional therapy can be devastating to healthy physical tissue and just as toxic to our sense of well being. When you feel awful it's harder to be confident about healing…but it's critical that you do so.

why consider a Wellness Coach?

Navigating a health challenge can feel overwhelming. Between appointments, conflicting information, and the day-to-day demands of life, many people are left wondering what else they can do to support their health and well-being.

A wellness coach provides guidance, education, encouragement, and accountability to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

1. Personalized Guidance
   Your health history, goals, lifestyle, and circumstances are unique. Coaching provides individualized support tailored to your specific needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

2. Education & Empowerment
   Learn practical strategies related to nutrition, lifestyle habits, stress management, and overall wellness so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

3. Goal Setting & Accountability
   Meaningful change happens through consistent action. Together, we'll identify realistic goals, track progress, and create sustainable habits that support long-term well-being.

4. Behavior Change Support
   Creating new habits can be challenging. Coaching helps you identify obstacles, shift limiting patterns, and develop practical strategies to support lasting change.

5. Nutrition & Lifestyle Guidance
   Explore evidence-informed approaches to nutrition, movement, sleep, stress reduction, and daily routines that support your overall health goals.

6. Stress Resilience & Emotional Well-Being
   Health challenges affect more than the body. Coaching can help you develop coping strategies, strengthen resilience, and navigate life's transitions with greater ease.

7. Support & Encouragement
   Regular check-ins provide a supportive space to ask questions, celebrate progress, address challenges, and stay motivated along the way.

8. Prevention & Long-Term Wellness
   A proactive approach to health focuses on the everyday choices that influence vitality, quality of life, and long-term well-being.

9. Individualized Feedback
   Receive ongoing guidance and adjustments based on your progress, helping you stay aligned with your goals and continue moving forward.

Whenever possible, begin before treatment starts so we can strengthen your body, build resilience, and support you throughout treatment and recovery.
